Keep Your Pets Safe in Spring

As trees start to bud, sap starts to run, birds start to twitter and nature renews itself, our thoughts turn to gardening and lawn care.

Those of us with pets may already know about and guard against the potential harm some plants and garden additives may have for animals and birds.

If you are a newer pet owner and a concerned pet lover, you may not yet know about ways in which you can protect your own pets and neighbor pets from gardening dangers…

“I see it all the time in my clinic in the springtime. Animals get into fertilizers and pesticides, those used on a home or on a farm, and it makes the animals sick,” says Dr. James Cook, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. “People need to be aware of these potential hazards. Along with better weather, the spring brings with it the use of a number of common lawn chemicals and the blooming of plants that can be hazardous to pets.”
